(...) I guess in an ideal world I want to buy small parts by volume and large ones by weight,then. :-) (ideal for us I mean) But if you only get 100 2x4s for 13 USD, that's 13 cents a brick. That's way over my threshold for 2x4s, a common part, (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) So if my math is correct (and it frequently isn't) it is still less expensive to simply scoop 100 loose 2x4's into a cup for $12.95 than it is to pay by weight for the same 100 2x4's.

I could just drop my 100 or so 2x4 bricks in each of 3 cups and (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)

That's what it says in their latest ad - but when you take a look at the picture, (URL) pretty obvious that: set 4047 (497 pieces) is actually sets 4096 & 4100 in one box, and set 4048 (543 pieces) is actually sets 4097 & 4099 in one box. The piece (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Unfortunely this sale is not in effect at the Palisades Center location in New York. Technical problems are limiting the store's ability to update the computer system to recognize the sale.
